Since ancient tis, dicine and poison have been inseparable. The two paths of the Eastern King Valley have rged, making it an ancient sect with profound heritage.
Their sect is not located within the borders of the Qi Kingdom, but rather to the north of the Qi Kingdom, where they have their own independent headquarters.
In terms of geographical location, the Eastern King Valley is actually closer to the Yang Kingdom, which is northwest of the Qi Kingdom.
Shuanzi ntioned under the influence of the Flower Sea that the depletion of the Tianqing Stone veins seems to be related to the Xi family.
In theory, although Qingyang Town is under the jurisdiction of Jiacheng, it is impossible for the Lord of Jiacheng to have any conflicts with the Zhongxuan family.
Perhaps it is because of the background of the Eastern King Valley that the Xi family dares to reach out for the mineral veins of the Zhongxuan family?
Although the Tianqing Cloud Stone is precious, Jiang Wang found in his research that the output is not high. The value of ordinary Tianqing Stone has greatly decreased.
Can this level of benefit blind the Xi family?
Jiang Wang doesn't know.
While he was thinking, he suddenly felt a gaze cast upon him. When he looked back, he found it was Xi Zichu, who was riding a tall horse and slowly passing by on the main street.
Jiang Wang smiled gently.
But Xi Zichu seed to just casually glance over and then shifted his gaze elsewhere.
The enthusiastic cheers never ceased, accompanying his figure as it gradually moved away.
With his cultivation level, he could have entered the city without alerting anyone, silently and without a trace.
But he was riding a tall horse, attracting attention and causing the army to clear the way in such an exaggerated manner.
Just having a handso appearance may not achieve such an effect. Zhao Rucheng's beauty did not receive such crazy pursuit back in Maple City.
Firstly, it was because of his identity. As the son of the city lord, a cultivator of the Eastern King Valley, he was undoubtedly the highest-ranking young person in Jiacheng with boundless prospects. Secondly, his cultivation level had already reached the Soaring Dragon Realm, making him a strong individual.
These were all very attractive qualities.
But these alone were not enough.
There should also be an elent of creating a sensation, supplented by techniques such as illusions.
At first, Jiang Wang couldn't understand the significance of creating such a sensation.
But now, looking at the enthusiasm of the crowd, he suddenly realized.
With such a popular figure appearing, it is likely that the rule of the Xi family in Jiacheng will not be shaken for a hundred years.
This reason is enough.
Xi Zichu had already gone far, and the won on the street were reluctant to leave.
Jiang Wang called out to Xiaoxiao and Shuanzi, preparing to return to the inn first.
He planned to stay in Jiacheng for one night and visit the City Lord's Mansion at night.
Just at this mont, a person dressed as a guard pushed through the crowd and walked up to Jiang Wang, whispering softly, "My young master requests your presence."
"Who is your young master?"
The guard smiled proudly, "Young Master Xi."
Jiang Wang's heart moved.
Why did he want to see ?
Does he know ?
Is it from the Tianfu Secret Realm or from Nan Yao City?
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Wang casually instructed Xiaoxiao and Shuanzi to return to the inn first.
He said to the guard, "Lead the way."
Regardless of the reason why Xi Zichu wanted to et him privately, Jiang Wang had no reason to be afraid.
If Xi Zichu didn't know him, he didn't need to worry because with his current strength, even if he couldn't easily defeat a cultivator in the Soaring Dragon Realm, he could still escape. Xi Zichu wouldn't be able to set up an ambush with four or five Soaring Dragon Realm experts without knowing him. The entire Xi family might not be able to find so many powerful individuals.
If Xi Zichu did know him, then there was even less reason to worry. He now represented the Zhongxuan family, and even if Xi Zichu was brainless, he wouldn't dare to openly kill soone from the Zhongxuan family without knowing him.
...
Following the guard, they wandered around the city and finally entered a small courtyard.
The guard stopped at the courtyard gate, and a beautiful maid led the way.
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary residence, but once inside, it revealed a hidden paradise.
Rockeries, flowing water, flowers, and vines. The owner of this place must be soone who knows how to enjoy life.
When they arrived at a pavilion, the maid stepped back.
Xi Zichu sat alone in the main seat of the pavilion, wiping his face with a warm towel. It seed that he had just arrived.
A beautiful lady served him carefully by his side.
He put down the towel, waved his hand to let the beautiful lady retreat, and looked at Jiang Wang, saying, "Please have a seat, brother."
There was a small table in the pavilion, filled with fine wine, two jade cups, and three layers of small dishes.
It looked pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Wang casually sat down and observed this man who was skilled at creating a sensation from up close.
He felt that this person had a sharp gaze and a unique temperant.
There was a faint fragrance emanating from him, making Jiang Wang sowhat wary. This scent reminded him of the Daoist Flower Sea.
Facing Jiang Wang's scrutiny, Xi Zichu didn't mind. He poured two cups of wine from the jug, regardless of whether Jiang Wang would drink or not, and took a sip himself.
"Let guess..." he smiled and said, "Are you from the Zhongxuan family?"
Jiang Wang neither admitted nor denied it. "How did you know?"
"In the entire Jiacheng city, I know everyone who has reached the Soaring Dragon Realm at your age, but I have never seen you before. So you are not a local."
"In the entire Jiacheng city, there is no one who doesn't know . And the way you look at is filled with curiosity, indicating that you have just arrived here.""Judging from your bone structure, you should be between eighteen and nineteen years old this year, hmm, it seems your lifespan is sowhat deficient. This probably indicates that you've experienced a lot. Jiacheng is a small place, and Yangguo is a small country. How could there be so many ups and downs?"
"The most important thing is, you're only at the Tongtian Realm, yet you vaguely make feel threatened, which ans you're very strong. In the entire Jiacheng city area, where else could there be soone who could threaten ? Considering the fact that the Tianqing stone vein in the Hu's mine is about to be exhausted, I guess you must be soone sent by the Zhongxuan family." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelꞁire
"Going further, the affairs of the Zhongxuan family in Yangguo should now be handled by Zhongxuan Sheng."
Xi Zichu said up to here, seemingly not quite understanding, and frowned, "However, I thought you should be a white-haired young man."
Jiang Wang almost wanted to applaud him, "You probably didn't study dicine in Dongwang Valley, but rather learned so divination and deduction thods. As you guessed, I am Jiang Wang, and there's another reason for my hair."
"That's right." Xi Zichu clapped his hands and laughed.
"A doctor observes, listens, asks, and cuts. Eyes are very important." He pointed at his own eyes and confidently said, "If I can't even see your strength, then I'm not worthy of saying that I've practiced in Dongwang Valley."
It seems necessary to learn a secret thod to hide my real strength. Just controlling Dao Yuan to disguise it can't escape those sharp eyes. Jiang Wang thought.
He then asked, "Since you know why I'm here, I wonder why you specifically invited . Do you have sothing to tell ?"
"I just wanted to tell you after seeing you that the Tianqing stone vein in the Hu's mine has nothing to do with my Xi family. Even the affairs of the entire Qingyang Town, apart from collecting a small amount of taxes, we never interfere."
Xi Zichu said slowly, "Please believe in my wisdom. The little achievent I got in Dongwang Valley is not enough to make so arrogant. Dongwang Valley is strong, but it's far in the north. The Zhongxuan family is right in front of us. A Soaring Dragon Realm powerhouse can rush here from Qiguo within three days, not to ntion those stronger ones."
Jiang Wang was already sowhat convinced, and he asked, "Apart from this, do you have anything else to remind of?"
Xi Zichu crossed his fingers and placed them in front of him, looking profound, "That's sothing you guys need to consider."
Jiang Wang nodded, "That's true."
"Since you are Jiang Wang, one of the winners of the Tianfu Secret Realm this ti. Then next, let's talk about sothing interesting." Xi Zichu slowly said, "I have a friend nad Ji Xiu, who also participated in the Tianfu Secret Realm, unfortunately, he failed. Do you rember him?"
"You're good at guessing, why don't you keep guessing."
Jiang Wang smiled, stood up, and left the small courtyard.
His goal had been achieved.
Knowing that Xi Zichu was not a fool was enough.
He was the son of the city lord of Jiacheng, had practiced in Dongwang Valley, and was also at the Soaring Dragon Realm. His influence in the Xi family was definitely not low. As long as he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't agree to the Xi family moving the Zhongxuan family's mine vein.
Before more compelling evidence appears, the issue with the Xi family can be temporarily ruled out.
